Stand der TechnikState of the art

Mit Mobilfunkendgeräten, wie z.B. Handys, können Teilnehmer über ein Mobilfunknetz miteinander kommunizieren. Mobilfunknetze nach dem GSM- bzw. UMTS-Standard sind bereits seit langem bekannt und werden in zahlreicher Literatur beschrieben, beispielsweise in dem Lehrbuch " GSM Global System for Mobile Communication", J. Ebersbpächer / H.- J. Vögel 2. Auflage erschienen im B.G. Teubner-Verlag Stuttgart-Leipzig .With mobile devices, such as cell phones, subscribers can communicate with each other over a mobile network. Mobile networks according to the GSM or UMTS standard have been known for a long time and are described in numerous literature, for example in the textbook " GSM Global System for Mobile Communication ", J. Ebersbpächer / H.- J. Vögel 2nd edition published by BG Teubner-Verlag Stuttgart-Leipzig ,

Es ist wünschenswert, den Teilnehmern bzw. Nutzern von Mobilfunknetzen die Bedienung von Mobilfunkendgeräten möglichst leicht zu machen. Die Mobilfunkendgeräte werden daher über Menüs bedient. Die Funktionen des Mobilfunkendgeräts werden über eine Anzeige als Menü dargestellt, von dem sich der Nutzer den gewünschten Menüpunkt mit Hilfe der Tastatur des Mobilfunkendgeräts oder sprachgesteuert aussuchen kann.It is desirable to make the operation of mobile radio terminals as easy as possible for the subscribers or users of mobile radio networks. The mobile devices are therefore operated via menus. The functions of the mobile station are displayed on a display as a menu from which the user can choose the desired menu item using the keyboard of the mobile station or voice-controlled.

Mittlerweile lassen sich nicht nur Funktionen des Mobilfunkendgeräts über das Menü abrufen, sondern auch Dienstleistungen, wie beispielsweise Verkehrsinformationen, Sportnachrichten, Hotelführer etc. Diese Dienstleistungen werden von entsprechenden Dienstleistern im Mobilfunknetz angeboten.Meanwhile, not only functions of the mobile terminal can be accessed via the menu, but also services such as traffic information, sports news, hotel guides, etc. These services are offered by appropriate service providers in the mobile network.

Jeder Mobilfunkteilnehmer wird auf seine Weise eigene Gewohnheiten zum Aufrufen bestimmter Menüpunkte haben, um Funktionen des Mobilfunkendgeräts oder Dienstleistungen in Anspruch zu nehmen. Wegen einheitlicher Menüführungen sind die Menüs nicht individuell an den einzelnen Benutzer angepasst. Ein Benutzer wird daher nicht selten durch die gesamte Menüstruktur hindurch steuern müssen, um an einen gewünschten Menüpunkt zu gelangen.Each mobile subscriber will have their own habits for calling certain menu items in their own way in order to use functions of the mobile station or services. Because of uniform menu navigation, the menus are not individually adapted to the individual user. A user will therefore often need to navigate through the entire menu structure to get to a desired menu item.

Vorteilhafterweise wird in einer besonderen Ausbildung des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens die Auswahlhäufigkeit der angewählten Menüpunkte gespeichert. Erfindungsgemäß werden die jeweiligen Aufenthaltsorte des Nutzers als Koordinaten gespeichert um ein geeignetes Nutzerprofil zu erstellen. Jedem ausgewählten Menüpunkt wird eine Ortskoordinate zugeordnet. Hält sich ein Benutzer wiederholt an einem Ort auf, kann ihm beispielsweise ein zuvor an diesem Ort gewählter Menüpunkt in einer leicht erreichbaren Position erneut angeboten werden.Advantageously, the selection frequency of the selected menu items is stored in a particular embodiment of the method according to the invention. According to the invention, the respective whereabouts of the user are stored as coordinates in order to create a suitable user profile. Each selected menu item is assigned a location coordinate. If a user repeatedly stops at a location, he may, for example, be offered a menu item previously selected at this location in an easily accessible position.

Erfindungsgemäß kann der Mobilfunkendgerätenutzer das Nutzerprofil selber anpassen und regulieren. Durch diese Maßnahme ist es dem Mobilfunkendgerätenutzer möglich, auf das Nutzerprofil Einfluss zu nehmen und nach seinen Bedürfnissen anzupassen.According to the invention, the mobile terminal user can adapt and regulate the user profile himself. This measure makes it possible for the mobile terminal user to influence the user profile and adapt it to his needs.

Bevorzugtes AusführungsbeispielPreferred embodiment

In Fig. 1 wird mit 10 ein Mobilfunknetz bezeichnet. Das Mobilfunknetz 10 wird durch einen Sendemast 12, eine sechseckige Wabe 14 und Mobilfunkendgeräte 16 verbildlicht. Dabei symbolisiert die Wabe 14 den durch das Mobilfunknetz 10 abgedeckten territorialen Bereich. Teilnehmer im Mobilfunknetz 10 werden durch die Mobilfunkendgeräte 16 symbolisiert.In Fig. 1 is referred to as a cellular network. The mobile network 10 is represented by a transmitting mast 12, a hexagonal honeycomb 14 and mobile terminals 16. Here, the honeycomb 14 symbolizes the covered by the mobile network 10 territorial area. Subscribers in the mobile network 10 are symbolized by the mobile terminals 16.

In einer computergestützten Zentraleinheit 18 findet insbesondere die Verwaltung der Mobilfunkteilnehmer 16 und die Vermittlung von Kommunikationswünschen in dem Mobilfunknetz 10 statt. Über Funk - Pfeil 20 - vermittelt das Mobilfunknetz 10 Kommunikationsanfragen durch Mobilfunkteilnehmer Die Zentraleinheit 18 weist einen Speicher 22 auf, in dem eine geeignete Datenbank 24 in digitaler Form abgespeichert ist. In der Datenbank 24 liegen alle teilnehmerbezogenen Daten als Datensatz 26 vor, vgl. hierzu Fig. 2.In a computerized central processing unit 18, the administration of the mobile radio subscribers 16 and the switching of communication requests in the mobile radio network 10 take place in particular. Via radio - arrow 20 - transmits the mobile network 10 communication requests by mobile subscribers The central unit 18 has a memory 22 in which a suitable database 24 is stored in digital form. All subscriber-related data are available in the database 24 as a data record 26, cf. For this Fig. 2 ,

Pfeil 28 deutet die bidirektionale Verbindung der Zentraleinheit 18 über die Sendemasten 12 zu den Mobilfunkendgeräten 16 an. Jeder Mobilfunkteilnehmer kann mit seinem Mobilfunkendgerät 16 entweder Dienstleistungen von Dienstleistern 30, 32 oder individuell Funktionen des Mobilfunkendgeräts 16 abrufen. Die Dienstleister 30, 32 speisen dazu ihre Dienstleistungen, wie z.B. Verkehrs-, Fluginformationen oder Hotelführer, über die Zentraleinheit 18 in das Mobilfunknetz 10 ein, Pfeile 34, 36.Arrow 28 indicates the bidirectional connection of the central unit 18 via the transmission towers 12 to the mobile radio terminals 16. Each mobile subscriber can use its mobile terminal 16 either services from service providers 30, 32 or individually retrieve functions of the mobile station 16. The service providers 30, 32 feed their services, e.g. Traffic, flight information or hotel guide, via the central unit 18 in the mobile network 10, arrows 34, 36th

Die Mobilfunkendgerätefunktionen und die Dienstleistungen der Dienstleister 30, 32 lassen sich jeweils über ein Menü 38 mit hierarchischer Struktur abrufen. Das Menü 38 besteht aus Menüpunkten 39 und wird auf einer Anzeige 40 dargestellt. Mit der Tastatur 42 oder Sprachsteuerung lässt sich in dem Menü 38 durch mehrere Menüebenen navigieren, um die gewünschten Menüpunkte 39 auszuwählen. Die Menüs 38 werden zentral in der computergesteuerten Zentraleinheit 18 bearbeitet und verwaltet.The mobile radio terminal functions and the services of the service providers 30, 32 can each be retrieved via a menu 38 with a hierarchical structure. The menu 38 consists of menu items 39 and is displayed on a display 40. With the keyboard 42 or voice control can be navigated in the menu 38 through several menu levels to select the desired menu items 39. The menus 38 are edited and managed centrally in the computerized central processing unit 18.

Jeder Mobilfunkteilnehmer hat andere Gewohnheiten. Die Mobilfunkteilnehmer werden daher auch unterschiedliche Menüpunkte 39 bevorzugen. Das Nutzungsverhalten bzgl. der Auswahl von Menüpunkten der verschiedenen Mobilfunkteilnehmer wird daher sehr individuell ausfallen. Dieses Nutzungsverhalten wird daher von jedem einzelnen Mobilfunkteilnehmer in dem Speicher 22 in einem Datensatz 26 der Datenbank 24 gespeichert. Ein Kriterium für das Nutzungsverhalten ist die Auswahlhäufigkeit für bestimmte Menüpunkte 39. Nach einer Auswertung des Nutzungsverhaltens der Mobilfunkteilnehmer durch die Zentraleinheit 18 kann das Menü 38 individuell auf jeden Mobilfunkteilnehmer als Nutzerprofil angepasst werden. Das individuell für einen Mobilfunkteilnehmer angepasste Menü 38 entspricht dem Nutzerprofil.Each mobile subscriber has different habits. The mobile subscribers will therefore also prefer different menu items 39. The usage behavior with regard to the selection of menu items of the different mobile subscribers will therefore be very individual. This usage behavior is therefore stored by each individual mobile subscriber in the memory 22 in a data set 26 of the database 24. A criterion for the usage behavior is the selection frequency for specific menu items 39. After an evaluation of the usage behavior of the mobile radio subscribers by the central unit 18, the menu 38 can be individually adapted to each mobile subscriber as a user profile. The individually adapted for a mobile subscriber menu 38 corresponds to the user profile.

Auf diese Weise erhält jeder Mobilfunkteilnehmer ein Menü, was möglichst auf seine Bedürfnisse zugeschnitten ist. Dieses Nutzerprofil lässt sich durch den Mobilfunkteilnehmer jederzeit ändern oder gar ganz bzw. teilweise löschen. Im Falle, dass es vollständig gelöscht wurde, wird ein vorgegebenes Urmenü auf der Anzeige 40 dargestellt. Das Nutzerprofil ist grundsätzlich variabel und ändert sich insbesondere auch nach zeitlichen oder örtlichen Gesichtspunkten. Für einen Mobilfunkteilnehmer können auch mehrere Nutzerprofile angelegt werden. So kann beispielsweise ein Nutzerprofil für die Arbeit, eines für die Freizeit und eines für den Urlaub, verwendet werden.In this way, each mobile subscriber receives a menu, which is tailored as possible to his needs. This user profile can be changed at any time by the mobile subscriber or even completely or partially deleted. In the event that it has been completely deleted, a default Urmenü is displayed on the display 40. The user profile is basically variable and changes in particular also according to time or local aspects. For a mobile subscriber can also several user profiles are created. For example, a user profile can be used for work, one for leisure and one for vacation.

In Fig. 2 wird in einer Prinzipskizze ein Datensatz 26 der Datenbank 24 dargestellt. Der Datensatz 26 enthält insbesondere die bevorzugten Menüpunkte 39. Jedem Menüpunkt 39 ist eine Funktion des Mobilfunkendgeräts 16 oder eine Dienstleistung der Dienstleister 30, 32 zugeordnet. Der Datensatz 26 enthält zu jedem Menüpunkt 39 eine Zeit- 44 und eine Ortsangabe 46. Die Zeitangabe 44 wird mit t1, t2, t3, ... bezeichnet für die eine beliebige Zeit eingesetzt werden kann, wann z.B. das Menü in der Anzeige 40 des Mobilfunkendgeräts 16 erscheinen soll, Pfeil 48. Entsprechend kann vorgesehen sein, dass ein bestimmtes Menü 39 erst an einem bestimmten Ort 46 erscheint. Die Koordinaten werden hier mit (x1, y1); (x2, y2); (x3, y3); ... bezeichnetIn Fig. 2 a data set 26 of the database 24 is shown in a schematic diagram. The data record 26 contains, in particular, the preferred menu items 39. Each menu item 39 is assigned a function of the mobile radio terminal 16 or a service of the service providers 30, 32. The data record 26 contains for each menu item 39 a time 44 and a location 46. The time 44 is designated t1, t2, t3,... For which any time can be used, for example when the menu in the display 40 of FIG Mobile terminal 16 is to appear, arrow 48. Accordingly, it may be provided that a particular menu 39 appears only at a specific location 46. The coordinates are here with (x1, y1); (x2, y2); (x3, y3); ... designated

Die Nutzerprofile lassen sich entweder weitestgehend automatisch durch die Zentraleinheit 18 oder durch den Mobilfunknutzer erstellen. Für die automatische Erstellung des Nutzerprofils ist das Nutzungsverhalten des Teilnehmers erforderlich, welches gespeichert und ausgewertet wird. Das Nutzungsverhalten kann grundsätzlich zunächst in dem Mobilfunkendgerät 16 selbst zwischengespeichert werden und nur zu bestimmten Zeitpunkten, beispielsweise bei geringer Auslastung des Mobilfunknetzes 10, an die Zentraleinheit 18 übermittelt werden.The user profiles can be created either largely automatically by the central unit 18 or by the mobile user. For the automatic creation of the user profile, the usage behavior of the participant is required, which is stored and evaluated. In principle, the usage behavior can initially be temporarily stored in the mobile radio terminal 16 itself and transmitted to the central unit 18 only at certain points in time, for example in the event of low utilization of the mobile radio network 10.
